Recommendations endpoint doesn't respond

[upgrader-dev]

Hello, 

I've been working on this webapp for months now with these lines without issue : 

 $recommendationsOptions = [
                'limit' => 20,
                'seed_artists' => $seedArtists,
                'seed_tracks' => $seedTracks,
                'seed_genres' => $seedGenres,
                'market' => $api->me()->country,
                'target_popularity' => 100
            ];
           
            
            try
            {
            $recommendations = $api->getRecommendations($recommendationsOptions);
            }
            catch(SpotifyWebAPIException $e)
            {
            $recommendations=null;
            echo($e);
            }

But since yesterday evening, these lines are making the browser loading infinitely. The page never ends up loading the content.

I've been using these lines for moths so I believe the recomendation endpoint have changed somehow this week end?

Any clue?

Thx

My Question or Issue

[upgrader-dev]

Bug disapeared this morning, it should be due to Spotify servers...

[upgrader-dev]

Well this behavior just came back yesterday morning, 

I’ll try with another account. 

anybody here experiencing the same issue?

[josegouvea1999]

It's happening to me 2. Just like you describe it.

[upgrader-dev]

Ok so the issue has nothing to do with our code. 

Anyway the most annoying for me is my inability to manage this error even if the request is in a try catch block. 
any idea about that?

[josegouvea1999]

I have the exact same question but other than setting a timeout ourselves to detect when the request is taking longer than usual I don't know what would work. Besides my application relies on these requests to work so I simply cannot have it working if I'm blocked for entire days.

[upgrader-dev]

Can you post your recommendations options so we can compare both?

[josegouvea1999]

I'm literally only using 5 track seeds, no other options...

I’m currently having issues with the recommendations and rate limiting.  All other webApi calls work fine.  I have my code set to capture any 429 errors and delay the request based on the Retry-After returned in the header.  It’s in seconds and I’m being return 22050!!!

Bug popped up a hour ago... For the 31st eve argh!!

Did anyone succeed in catching this error in symfony or plain php??

[upgrader-dev]

Still struggling with this...

I achieved to reproduce the same request with curl on a terminal and the request succeeds... while still freezes on my symfony using curl php function... app
